However, Wikipedia editors must base their contributions on reliable, published sources, not their <em>own</em> original research.</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Wikipedia articles must not contain original research.</strong> On <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>, <i>original research</i> means material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">reliable, published source</a> exists.<sup id="cite_ref-Exists_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Exists-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that <a href="#Synthesis_of_published_material"> reaches or implies a conclusion not stated by the sources</a>. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are <em>directly related</em> to the topic of the article and <em>directly support</em><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>b<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the material being presented. </p><p>The prohibition against original research means that all material added to articles must be <em>verifiable</em> in a reliable, published source, even if not already <em>verified</em> via an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Inline_citation" title="Wikipedia:Inline citation">inline citation</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifiability policy</a> says that an inline citation to a reliable source must be provided for all quotations, and for anything <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CHALLENGED" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CHALLENGED">challenged or likely to be challenged</a>—but a source <em>must</em> exist even for material that is never challenged.<sup id="cite_ref-Exists_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Exists-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, the statement "the capital of France is Paris" does not require a source to be cited, nor is it original research, because it's not something you thought up and it is easily verifiable; therefore, no one is likely to object to it and we know that sources exist for it even if they are not cited. The statement is verifi<em>able</em>, even if not verifi<em>ed</em>. </p><p>Despite the need for reliable sources, you must not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Plagiarism" title="Wikipedia:Plagiarism">plagiarize</a> them or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_violations" title="Wikipedia:Copyright violations">violate their copyrights</a>. Rewriting source material in your own words while retaining the substance is not considered original research. </p><p>"No original research" (NOR) is one of three core content policies that, along with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">Neutral point of view</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">Verifiability</a>, determines the type and quality of material acceptable in articles. Because these policies work in harmony, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three. For questions about whether any particular edit constitutes original research, see the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NORN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NORN">No original research noticeboard</a>.

been collected and organized from <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">reliable sources</a>, as described in content policies such as this one. If no reliable <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources" title="Wikipedia:Independent sources">independent sources</a> can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery. </p><p>The best practice is to research the most reliable sources on the topic and summarize what they say in your own words, with each statement in the article being verifiable in a source that makes that statement explicitly. Source material should be carefully summarized or rephrased without changing its meaning or implication. Take care not to go beyond what the sources express or to use them in ways inconsistent with the intention of the source, such as using material <a href="/wiki/Out_of_context" class="mw-redirect" title="Out of context">out of context</a>. In short, <i>stick to the sources</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reliable_sources" data-mw-thread-id="h-Reliable_sources-Using_sources"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Reliable_sources-Using_sources"></span>Reliable sources<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Reliable_sources-Using_sources"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">Wikipedia:Verifiability</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">Wikipedia:Reliable sources</a></div> <p>Any material challenged or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:LIKELY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:LIKELY">likely to be challenged</a> must be supported by a reliable source. Material for which no reliable source can be found is considered original research. The only way you can show that your edit is not original research is to cite a reliable published source that contains the same material. Even with well-sourced material, if you use it out of context, or to state or imply a conclusion not <i>directly and explicitly</i> supported by the source, you are engaging in original research; see <a href="#Synthesis_of_published_material">below</a>. </p><p>In general, the most reliable sources are: </p> <ul><li>Peer-reviewed journals</li> <li>Books published by university presses</li> <li>University-level textbooks</li> <li>Magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses</li> <li>Mainstream newspapers</li></ul> <p>However, note that higher standards than this are required for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">medical claims</a>. </p><p>As a rule of thumb, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication. Self-published material, whether on paper or online, is generally not regarded as reliable. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SPS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SPS">self-published sources</a> for exceptions. </p><p>Information in an article must be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifiable</a> in the references cited. In general, article statements should not rely on unclear or inconsistent passages or on passing comments. Any passages open to multiple interpretations should be precisely cited or avoided. A summary of extensive discussion should reflect the conclusions of the source. Drawing conclusions not evident in the reference is original research regardless of the type of source. References must be cited in context and on topic. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources" data-mw-thread-id="h-Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources-Using_sources"><span id="Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources-Using_sources"></span>Primary, secondary and tertiary sources<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources-Using_sources"></span></h3></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="Primary,_secondary,_and_tertiary_sources"></span> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:PSTS"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:PSTS&redirect=no">WP:PSTS</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_primary_sources" title="Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources">Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Based_upon" title="Wikipedia:Based upon">Wikipedia:Based upon</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Published" title="Wikipedia:Published">Wikipedia:Published</a></div> <p>Wikipedia articles should be based on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">reliable</a>, published <a href="/wiki/Secondary_source" title="Secondary source">secondary sources</a>, and to a lesser extent, on <a href="/wiki/Tertiary_source" title="Tertiary source">tertiary sources</a> and <a href="/wiki/Primary_source" title="Primary source">primary sources</a>. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors. </p><p>Appropriate sourcing can be a complicated issue, and these are general rules. Deciding whether primary, secondary, or tertiary sources are appropriate in any given instance is a matter of good editorial judgment and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COMMON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COMMON">common sense</a>, and should be discussed on article talk pages. A source may be considered primary for one statement but secondary for a different one. Even a given source can contain both primary and secondary source material for one particular statement.

By reinforcing the importance of including verifiable research produced by others, this policy promotes the inclusion of multiple points of view. Consequently, this policy reinforces our neutrality policy. In many cases, there are multiple established views of any given topic. In such cases, no single position, no matter how well researched, is authoritative. It is not the responsibility of any individual editor to research <i>all</i> points of view. But when incorporating research into an article, editors must provide context for this point of view by indicating how prevalent the position is and whether it is held by a majority or minority. </p><p>The inclusion of a view that is held by only a tiny minority may constitute original research. <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Wales" title="Jimmy Wales">Jimbo Wales</a> has said of this: </p> <ul><li>If your viewpoint is in the majority, then it should be easy to substantiate it with references to commonly accepted reference texts;</li> <li>If your viewpoint is held by a significant minority, then it should be easy to name prominent adherents;</li> <li>If your viewpoint is held by an extremely small minority, then—whether it's true or not, whether you can prove it, or not—it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, except perhaps in some ancillary article.
